It was basketball at its best. Two teams playing the game the right way in front of basketball loving fans from both cities. Big ups to all of the running cougars [Dajuann Green, Harold Brantley, Troy Danner (RIP), Tony Thompson, Ray Johnson, Ronnie Norris, Kelvin Smith, Kevin Mitchell (RIP), Julius McCoy, Shawn Henry, Alejandro Morianna, Earl Jackson and myself John Patterson]. Boy was that a team for the ages.

And not to be forgotten David Sheppard and our wonderful coaching staff Carl Rachelson, Kirk Smallwood and Jimmy Jones. They taught boys how to be men. Lessons never forgotten.

I was just a kid but remember vividly!

Having been a CHS student 1 year ahead of Billy and one behind Michael... We were SPOILED!!! What an amazing 4 year stretch. The games against Harrisburg and Steel High were always exciting. Great memories.
What's the word...?
THUNDERING HERD!!!🦬🦬🦬🦬

I remember playing guys in Carlisle in Street pickup games with the same intensity

[@bobbybrown8629]

I wish I could have played

[@bobbybrown8629]

But it was a great team and a great era of basketball I think that team could have beat any team in the country
